The third idea of a magazine focused on pop-punk, hardcore and alternative rock music would appeal most to today's teenagers and fans of that genre. While the first idea centered on techno music also had potential, the second idea focusing on 1950s/60s rock n' roll likely has a smaller audience today and less relevance for most teenagers. Overall, feedback suggested the third idea may have the broadest appeal and best chance of success.

2. Aim and Purpose
In this presentation, I will be presenting some of the
initial ideas for my magazine. I will be discussing certain
aspects of the initial magazine designs, such as the genre.
the house-style and the target audience of the magazine.
The reason I am presenting this to you is because I need
feedback from my peers in order to decide which idea is
the most likely to be successful and therefore develop on
the chosen idea.
I would like you to think about which design you think
would be the most effective and which one is the one
you liked the most.

3. Idea One
The first designs is based around techno style music, which
would involve dubstep, rave and drum and bass as sub-
genres of music. I will base the magazine around these
genres and alter my use of images and styles in order to
suit my target audience accordingly.
My target audience will be people who are interested in
and enjoyed this sort of music, as well as teenagers and
young adults. The style of the magazine would have to relate
to the lifestyle of the target audience, which would be
people who are energetic and live an eventful life.
The style of the magazine would be busy, messy and very
colourful, in order to both draw the viewers’ attention and
also to reflect the lifestyle of the potential target audience.

4. Idea Two
My second idea was to create a magazine that is based on rock
n roll style music from the 1950’s and 1960’s. Although this
genre is not so popular nowadays, there are still a few
magazines that features music from this era, and there are
people who still enjoy this sort of music.
The target audience of this magazine would be the people who
enjoy rock n roll, mostly adults, as most teenagers are not
familiar with this style of music. Therefore, the style of the
magazine would have to be quite formal and neat in order to
suite the target audience. Although, because this sort of music
meant the ‘revolution’ of music at the time, it should be quite
unique and casual at the same time.
Features should include reviews of famous artist, big hits,
history of artists, and rock n roll nowadays.

5. Idea Three
My third idea is a magazine based rock music,
specifically pop-punk, hardcore and alternative rock.
The target audience for this magazine will be the
fans of this genre of music, teenagers and both
genders.
Also, the magazine would have a messy and busy style,
as the target audience would be represented as
rebellious and non caring, which is the stereotype for
most of today’s teenagers. Working with black and
white as the two main colours, but including lots of
colours that stand out from the background would
create an attention drawing and suitable style for the
magazine.
Features could include, interviews, upcoming gigs,

6. Peer Feedback
Lauren: Prefers the third idea, likes the first idea and does not
like the second idea because of lack of audience and dislike of
music style.
